Thank you. I've been looking for an opinion from a big name scout. Mostly everything else I've heard has been from Bleacher Report types.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. says Moore is "at best, a late-round pick." The scout quoted earlier, a Moore fan, ticked off his two most commonly cited shortcomings: size and arm strength. On the subject of size, it wasn't so much Moore's height that concerned him as his lack of bulk. The scout wonders if the quarterback, at 191 pounds, can handle the pummeling he'd take in the league.

Granted Kiper has been wrong before but a big part of his research comes from conversations with NFL scouts so I have to imagine that that grade for Moore is rooted partly in how he is viewed by NFL front office personnel.
